Bush's father complains of news media "hostility"
Fri Jan 26, 2007 5:37 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush's father accused the news media of "personal animosity" toward his son and said he found the criticism so unrelenting he sometimes talked back to his television set.

"It's one thing to have an adversarial ... relationship -- hard-hitting journalism -- it's another when the journalists' rhetoric goes beyond skepticism and goes over the line into overt, unrelenting hostility and personal animosity," former President George Bush said.

The elder Bush, the 41st U.S. president, had a relatively collegial relationship with the press but things turned sour during his losing 1992 re-election campaign. He got so fed up with media coverage that supporters at the time circulated hats with the slogan "Annoy the Media -- Re-Elect Bush."

"I won't get too personal here -- but this antipathy got worse after the 43rd president took office," the former president said. He was speaking at a reception for a journalism scholarship awarded in honor of the late Hugh Sidey, White House correspondent for Time magazine.

1. Gee

ya wonder how he felt when they were relentlessly smearing Clinton. What they did to Clinton is far worse than anything they've done to the Chimp.

[The Traveler]

4. No shit

And Clinton didn't drive the country towards insolvency, initiate optional wars, give orders leading to the deaths of God alone knows how many innocent bystanders, advocate systematic torture of potential suspects, seek ever to achieve dictatorial control over the country, sell out a CIA operative and her entire network of nuclear weapons tracking spies, and supervise the largest transfer of wealth into the hands of the privileged few in recorded history.

No. Horrors. Bill got a B.J. Crucify him.

What wankers.

[rhiannon55]

5. And for far less reason

[Little Wing]

2. Dearest 41..

FUCK YOU!

Unrelenting? You were the one who thought invading Iraq was the dumbest idea in history. You can your pal Dick Cheney, you both thought it was dumb. You want rhetoric? YOU didn't stop your boy from using it to invade Iraq. You want rhetoric? You were the one who allowed your son to campaign on "He tried to kill my dad". You were the one who supported your kid in a foolish war.

FUCK YOU BUSH. FUCK ALL YOU BUSH'S. FUCK YOU JEB! FUCK YOU GEORGE H W!

3. "Idiot Son of an Asshole"

That was the title of a GREAT punk rock song that came out a
few years ago.  Quite fitting.

[vixengrl]

16. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

That song totally did sum it up--Bush I was an asshole (Damn, I love the pic, I can hear Hicks doing his bit on how 41 was a demon during the Gulf war:

"We surrender!"

"Not good enough!" Whatever would he have made of the dumbass we've got now, I can only wonder.)

And W is such an idiot.

[bdrube]

18. Thanks for the Welcome!

There's recent book out called "What Would Bill Hicks
Say" in which modern comedians and others try to imagine
his reaction to current events.

GOD I miss him!

[Contrary1]

6. Gees, Poppy...don't ya have something else you can do to pass the time?

Like throw up on a Japanese PM, or even better/worse yet, hug that hag of a wife.

[salin]

7. only fair - many folks have been talking 'back' to their tvs

when jr is on tv since he first taken office.

[Bluebear]

32. I'm lucky I didn't throw a brick at it! nt

[upi402]

8. CLINTON anyone? 41??? hint hint

Those spoiled phony bastards are the biggest crybabies on earth. They can't work *or* fight their own bullshit battles.
effemall!

[vixengrl]

9. Wow--it got worse when 43 took office--

maybe it's because he sucks that much more, doesn't belong in the office, and offends the American people every day that he's there. Just saying.

[AlCzervik]

11. yes, yes and yes and the press is way fing behind the public on this

they just started doing their jobs and they still have a long way to go so if 41 thinks it's bad now he should wait another few months, it'l get worse.

[madeline_con]

10. WAAAAA! We hate your demon spawn.

You should have flushed him while his head still fit.

Get over it.

[Swamp Rat]

12. Fuck you, you drug-dealing, mass-murdering FREAK!

BURN IN HELL!!!

[Pandrmn]

19. who you callin' freak?

[Swamp Rat]

23. Inbred right wing nutjobs who lick the feces from Bushler's gritty asshole

who are too chicken shit to serve in Iraq. That's who. Clear enough for you?



Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Bluebear]

30. That was pretty damn clear!

:toast:

[Pandrmn]

33. Thanks! foggy on One question though:

Does this imply that you are an authority on "licking the feces from Bushler's gritty asshole" How did you come by such intelligence? Where there dingle berries too? Thank you in advance for the clarification.
Ps. are there any other butts we should be aware of?

[NanceGreggs]

13. Huh?????

"It's one thing to have an adversarial relationship, hard-hitting journalism ..."

Hard hitting journalism? Did this guy just wake up from a coma? We haven't had anything remotely resembling hard-hitting journalism since his idiot boy moved into the White House.

[vixengrl]

20. Surely--actual hard-hitting journalism would've questioned him--

even being fit for being a candidate for governor on the way back when. He's always been, in his own words, a media creation, and a corporate stooge--Texas, if well-informed, should've shook him off. Raise the Sales tax? For your Baseball stadium? And immanent domain the area surrounding? (Please everyone get your hands on Fortunate Son by JH Hatfield. Bush was a disaster early and often in life.)

If hard-hitting journalism existed, his actions might've been held up to the naked word of the Constitution since...well, the election. The Supreme Court might've had an attack of consistency, and acknowledged the right of the state of Florida to count the votes. Wildness. (This is, of course, entertaining the fantasy that hard-hitiing journalism didn't already waste Bush's monkey hide). If persuaded it was their battle, at least two judges should've recognized (via and active and engaged press who'd already editorialized and wargamed this eventuality on blogs and in editorials) that they had actual conflict of interest!

If hard-hitting journalism existed, we'd all wonder why George never showed up for duty when he transferred from the TANG to the ANG--an illustrious institution which, for those of y'all who did not know--pilots of the Alabama Air National Guard flew in the Bay of Pigs. Well worthy of his giving a damn and showing. (Vixengrl does not imply any connection for the sake of inflaming conspiracy theories. She points out connections and lets you see any potential conspiracy theory for yourself. *Standard boilerplate Vixengrl disclaimer*). If hard hitting journalism existed--maybe we'd all be wondering--instead of like, five percent of us or so, why Bush 41 and Ollie North aren't doing time for crazy Constitutional violations of power for Iran Contra. (Out of the loop my...ass.)

Adversarial. Adversarial, he thinks he wants.

Reagan had Alzheimers--a pity. It's far worse to be self deluded. My sympathy for Bush and his spawn are diminished by knowing they brought their shortsightedness on themselves.

[speedoo]

14. He just whines, never gives specifics.

Stupid shit ought to just go look at his ugly wife, and ponder the fact that he fathered the worst president in this country's history, for the rest of his worthless existence.

[mitchum]

15. Wimp

[gratuitous]

17. As they say Poppy, "If you can't stand the heat . . .

. . . You shouldn't have bought an office for your idiot spawn that he couldn't handle."

Don't get too personal with me, you fucking refugee from Satan's waiting room. Hell is just yawning widely to swallow up you and that harridan you share your bed with. Pinochet was just an appetizer.

[ellie]

21. Boo Boo Kitty!

I haven't heard that in ages. I love that show!

[Bluebear]

25. :)

[Webster Green]

22. Fuck You Poppy!....I've been screaming at my TeeVee for years..

Ever since your dimwitted little fuckwad of a son got appointed to the
pResidency** by your corrupt cronies on the U.S. Supreme W. Court.

[gatorboy]

24. This "We're victims and everyone's out to get us" Repug tactic is getting tiring.

Your boy had close to 90% approval and he pissed it away on smug, incompetent arrogance.

[Bluebear]

26. Babs & Poppy still coming to his rescue, even now.

The monkey is President and he still needs Mom and Dad to fend off his "detractors". Pathetic.

[pdxmom]

27. It would go much further if he actually cited examples of this "personal

animosity". I think that any honest criticism would be viewed as personaly by daddy. And I never knew that Faux News had any personal animosity towards Bush Baby. I'm sure Poppy isn't sitting around watching Keith's commentaries.

[philosophie_en_rose]

28. Poor George W. Bush.

Would someone get me a hanky. :cry:

It is just so sad for a grown man to be criticized for creating death policies and illegal wars and massive national deficits . . .


Oh the humanity!


George W. Bush is the most victimized victim that ever was victimized.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. I agree!

In deference to poppy's feelings, I think the march on D.C. should include a full hour of tears and sobbing for the mean words aimed at his dear misunderstood Sonny Boy.

:crazy: That family is just plain :crazy:

[spanone]

29. He's the idiot son of an asshole.

[Lugnut]

34. Shaddup you old turd

What a whiney ass 41 is. :nopity:

[Stephanie]

35. Fuck Off Old Man

And your little boy too.

[Hekate]

36. Tell Poppy that if Sonny resigns, the press won't have him to kick around any more...

Just a thought.

Thin-skinned old bastard.
